The Complexities of Life.

There's a day of feasting and a day of famine, day of sadness and a day of joy. You could see in the day of feasting, that life isn't just a little play-like toy.

So, the day arrived when you least expected because you always thought you were well protected. Now, you feel like a fish out of water, so now, you're wondering what's the matter?

Oh remember you said it wouldn't happen to you. Now, you're thinking how to start anew, like a drowning man reaching for a straw. You were warned but you wouldn't take heed.

Everything in creation must obey a law, which is true in words as it is in, deed. Remember the saying about reaping what you sow? It’s a simple truth that everybody knows.
